I agree with you Ed.

There is one problem we haven't seen the answer to yet - what if you pay for your month but can't get in, for whatever reason? I for one don't want to end up with half finished sets of things in my relto, where the gaps stand out as reminders of months that I couldn't get in.

If you are having trouble logging in then you would call up GameTap and explain the situation to them, have them add the time back in later. They can check when you're on, I imagine. It'd be more likely that you might have a day or a week (say your cable internet dies and you have to make an appointment to get it fixed) where you can't use it, though.

I would argue that it's not completely illogical - in fact completely logical that they don't return. You were here for the first twleve months / x weeks / whatever, you get the sparkly.

The whole point of content like this is that you get it for being at the right place at the right time - why should there be second chances?

And that makes it unfair. I've been here since the start. And missed out on getting the Gahreesen sparkly cause I was having trouble making the jump. Your argument says because I couldn't make the jump I am to be penalized. And that is just not fair. I've been in as long as you have and I should be allowed sometime down the road to try and get that sparkly.

Or when you have an ice storm and it snaps the cable line. That is what happened to me in mid January. We had a bad ice storm in which it snapped the cable line and we were without electricity and cable for about a week.

I'd raise a feature request or a bug report under those circumstances.

It is likely the sparks will cycle on a fixed timetable, I doubt its duration will be a year, more likely 3 months.

What ever is unlocked by collecting them all is meant for experienced players. So you must play the game for a certain amount of time before you can get them and thus get the reward.

Now the ice storm I could contact them and see if they would make an exception due to circumstances beyond my control. But the jump is my fault due to a low-end connection. I am barely meet Gametaps requirements at 540k download.

I probably won't say anything at least not at this time. If they do repeat then it shouldn't be a problem.
